Yes but worth it. Although there is a limited risk of a heart attack occuring during cardiac rehab, that risk is present at home climbing the stairs or crossing the street. The risk is limited because the activity is supervised, and the patient is one "panic button" away from immediate cardiac intervention. In other words, if it's going to happen, it'll happen, but at least you're in the right place if it does.

Yes, but. There is always a risk of heart attack in people who have coronary artery disease - day and night, 24x7. That said, the risk is exceptionally low in cardiac rehab.

AMI. Those questions need to be asked of the patient's physicians. In general what you describe suggests serious damage was likely done during the heart attack, but that can't be known from here. The state of the coronary bed and the myocardial function likewise. Best to discuss with the physician(s) who know this patient best rather than generalize.

Very important. Assuming there is no contraindications to their use, beta blockers can decrease mortality after having a heart attack. They are also useful in decreasing blood pressure. For every increase in systollic BP (top number) by 20 and diastolic BP (bottom number) by 10 above 130/80, mortality from heart disease doubles, but not everyone can take beta blockers. Be sure to talk it over with you doctor.
